Interest in Sane or LibUSB

[Michael Cronenworth]

Would there be any interest in having Sane or LibUSB in the mingw 
packages? I have specs and patches for both, however the are some caveats:

sane-backends is set to compile only the "fujitsu" scanner backend, no 
IPv6, and no saned. This is due to the scanner I am using, and also 
because the other backends require lots of porting because other 
backends use UNIX signals and the fujitsu backend does not. Otherwise it 
compiles and works for me.

libusb-win32 compiles and runs without much modification, however this 
library has a tendency to BSOD Vista machines. Works fine with Windows 
XP. This is also only the 0.1.12 library. The 1.0 library is the current 
release, but since Fedora isn't shipping it and Sane requires 0.1.12 I 
am using it. Any know if Fedora switching to 1.0? Also, the resulting 
.exe files generates an auto-requires of "setupapi.dll" and 
"cfgmgr32.dll" so this is an issue that needs addressing.

As for maintainer-ship, I don't think I would be a good candidate to 
maintain the packages so I'd be looking for someone to take the 
specs/patches.

Yes to both.  Hans Niederman (ndim on #fedora-mingw) already took a
look at libusb-win32.

BSOD from userspace??

Probably best to file a bug against the native Fedora package if you
want it to be updated.

Well post any specfiles and patches here.  If you do want to make a
package then take a look at:

Attached. Upstream already has the sane patches. I had to add some 
#undefs for u_char, u_long, and u_int for Fedora as I was getting 
conflicts with the winsock(2).h defines. It seems MinGW in Fedora is 
adding them, but I don't see them in any system header.

Yes, isn't Vista grand? ;) This is widely reported by Vista users[1] and 
affects an in-house Vista machine with me.

Since libusb-0.1.x is deprecated, I doubt we'll see fixes for this 
issue. I'm not sure if all packages relying on libusb in Fedora are 
ready for libusb-1.0 as it is an ABI change. However, there is a 
libusb-compat-0.1 package to make the transition easy. I haven't tried 
compiling libusb-1.0 in MinGW yet though. I haven't found anyone who has 
so I'm not sure how well it will compile. When more free time comes up 
I'll attempt a build.

Fedora already has a separate libusb1 package with libusb 1.0, used by the
new fprint (fingerprint reading) stack.

For libusb-win32, you should probably apply this patch by Romain Liévin:
http://svn.tilp.info/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/libticables/trunk/src/wi...

Unfortunately no nice diff file there, just a description of what to change,
and the resulting modified .c file:
http://svn.tilp.info/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/libticables/trunk/src/win32/usb/res...

The diff is attached. It's trivial. It seems to have resolved the BSODs 
in Vista.
